  1. I have also had a wall underpinned (I prefer reinforced) as part of a kitchen extension because the original foundation wouldn't have been able to support the structural changes we were making. As I recall when I renewed my insurance the question mentioned underpinning in relation to subsidence rather than just underpinning. I would think that a large proportion of extensions would require some reinforcement to existing walls, especially Victorian houses, so I doubt it would affect your insurance.
  2. As people have already said it depends on whether the price you are paying is for a 3 bed or a 2 bed house. If they are selling it as a converted loft then clearly you need all the necessary approvals and permissions. If it's being sold as a 2 bed with potential then it's just storage and wouldn't have any building regs anymore than a boarded out loft space would have. Saying that if they are prepared to lower the price then that's a good thing!
  3. Thank you for the advice. I'm going to write a pre-action letter to them and send it via email and also send it to the nursery, the registered address of the company, and to the home address of the 2 directors. Will probably hand deliver to the nursery as it's only down the road and then they can't claim non-receipt.


    I will list the reasons both sides decided that we couldn't continue to use the nursery - giving a bowl of coco-pops as a snack instead of fruit like they said they would and putting my sons nappy on so tight he was crying in pain - as well as pointing out that they already agreed to the refund. Hopefully that will do the trick and we can avoid court.

  4. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of the small claims court? I put my son in a nursery in September but after 4 sessions it became clear it was not working out and the manager suggested I take him out and they would refund the remaining fees. I have 2 emails from her in which she agrees to refund the money however now she is refusing and saying we signed a contract which states the fees are non refundable. Does the fact she agreed to the refund initially over ride the contract?
